The
WISE brown dwarf data simulation in the solar neighborhood.
The WISE brown dwarfs, labeled in red, are shown
with the known nearby stars, labeled green. Distance
to the nearest star, Proxima Centauri, and perhaps
a closer brown dwarf, are shown relative to the 0.8
light-year Oort Cloud sphere in yellow.

WISE
is partnering with the American Museum of Natural History
and the Hayden Planetarium to visualize the Universe that WISE will reveal to us.
Using
a brown dwarf
data simulation
provided by WISE team members, we have integrated these
data into Hayden's
Digital Universe Atlas,
a 3-D atlas of the Universe for your computer, thereby
demonstrating
what the solar neighborhood might look like once WISE has
completed its mission. As WISE data comes in, we will be
poised to quickly integrate them into the Atlas, providing
a 3-D context of these data relative to the known Universe.
